 Summary of the bug:

 The current implementation of the "pad" filter only supports a software
 context. And it can be very useful for windowing a scene, but then when
 using HW decoding and encoding it's required to hwdownload and hwupload to
 just "crop and pad" the frames.

 So, I suggest to implement one of these two alternatives:

 1. Or to add hw frames support to the "pad" plugin.
 2. Or adding pad options to filters like "scale_cuda" and "scale_qsv".

 I hope some developer wants to implement this.
 Thank you!
